Overview

The territory of Mel is home to the medieval Zumelle Castle. The present configuration of the castle dates back to 1311, although the site was in use as a military fortification since the Roman era. Other sights include the Palazzo Zorzi (16th century, now the Town Hall) and the Palazzo delle Contesse (17th century), which houses an archaeological museum with remains from a Veneti Iron Age necropolis found outside the town.

The town is home to several cultural activities: they include art exhibitions in Palazzo delle Contesse and the choral music festival in July in the Guarnieri palace park.
